Fans of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World will soon be able to experience the Harry Potter universe like never before, with their favourite characters and iconic locations recreated in LEGO
A new theme park land based on J.K. Rowling’s beloved Harry Potter books has been confirmed, and fans will even be able to enjoy an overnight wizarding experience with themed accommodation.
LEGOLAND Deutschland in Germany has confirmed that a partnership between Merlin Entertainments and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences will bring the popular franchise to life in LEGO form.
Details of the brand new attraction are currently being kept strictly under wraps, with the park confirming it’ll be announcing further information in the next 12 months. In a statement, Peter van Roden, EVP of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, said: “We are always looking for new ways for the millions of Harry Potter fans around the world to extend the magic and further connect with the iconic films. This new destination will allow fans to step into in the familiar LEGO Harry Potter aesthetic they have been constructing for years and physically experience the wizarding world like never before.”
The first Harry Potter book was released in 1997, and since then, the franchise has continued to grow, spanning eight Harry Potter films, three Fantastic Beasts movies, a stage show, and even a video game.
While there are already Harry Potter-themed lands at some Universal resorts, as well as the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, where fans can see where the movie was filmed, this is the first Wizarding World attraction for LEGO. And while many places, such as private rentals, offer unofficial wizard-themed accommodation based on the franchise, the park will offer the first official themed accommodation.
The news comes as Potterheads eagerly await the release of the HBO series, slated to make its debut in 2027. The show, which began filming in 2025, is set to be produced for ten years over several seasons, each covering one of J.K. Rowling’s books.
Harry Potter and LEGO have a long association, with several brick sets themed around the franchise being released over the years. The first Harry Potter LEGO set, based on the Sorting Hat, came out back in 2001, and one of the most famous releases is the gigantic Hogwarts set. With over 6,000 pieces, this set currently sells for £409 on LEGO’s official shop.
Germany’s LEGOLAND park is based in Günzburg, just over an hour from Munich Airport. Flights are available from across the UK by airlines including British Airways, easyJet, and Lufthansa, and take just under two hours, making it easily accessible for British fans. From the airport, you can take a train to Günzburg, and then there are regular buses that drop you off just outside the park.
